I'm guessing the tightness might come from shrinkage of the metal after casting and cooling. I wonder if they themselves do any compensatory scaling up of the CAD before printing the lost-wax blank?

exactly!but let's get off those bottom feeders already and work on some side by sides
Blasphemy!
That said, I wouldn't pass on a Dublin.
No kidding....have you seen the exploded view of the new kayfun V4? Yikes. A gazillion parts just to vape. Really? Good grief. Granted the Kayfun's are all very good, but all those parts plus that price tag - no thanks....ever since I discovered BF devices, there was no looking back.
Cheers.
Old paint stripped and trying 24K paint again but this time with a clear poly ... will see how this combination works since Krylon Matte was seemingly not compatible.
see? that's the problem with you squonkers
We're too busy drawing everyone else into our event horizon.
saw your wood + plastic internals gdeal
Mark Todd would call it " stunning' "

lol, why is that? all the sanding or just finding the necessary time to make it?
it honestly looks better than Mark Todd's

I've been trying to find a decent 24k gold paint...what brand are you using? Is that from a rattle can or a sprayer?
The paint was 24K metallic (dmcolor) in a rattle can that I picked up at Michael's. It's a really a bright metallic gold but when I used Krylon Matte as a top coat it dulled way down to something more like a linen. So far with the poly coat I put on this round, the gold color is still metallic even though it only got a single coat paint. Coat 1 soaks into the white plastic and dries slightly dull. A second coat dries considerably brighter and if you do a 3rd it's quite 24K looking.
Though for a mod... wear is important and the last topcoat combination started looking bad really fast! Interesting to me is that I'm still using the gold button (was a modified alps) from the first paint combination and it's actually turned a green'ish color sort of like a patina.

Poor Tibs, still after that SxS...lol. Remember, maybe in 2015. Until then, just grab you an Ignition adapter (though it is a mech). FYI, Fasttech now sells a knockoff of it.

And the 4Nine 1to1 clone works perfect with this (it is the shortest mech I am aware of).

This is what it will look like (this is a real ignition with the 4nine clone).
no, thanks, drunk! that doesn't appeal to me
but being reminded of gdeal's woodworking skills that might be just the way to go

It will be a happy day here when my Gdeals are finally completed
